Warriors Champion Shares Details of Drama Between Draymond Green and Kevin Durant

Kevin Durant and Draymond Green ought to have been treated better.

NBA fans will always “what-if” Kevin Durant and the Golden State Warriors, no matter how many years pass. The bitter breakup has been the subject of numerous revelations throughout the years, the most recent of which was provided by former Warriors Quinn Cook.

Quinn Cook discussed how the turmoil involving Draymond Green and Kevin Durant influenced the Warriors in the most recent episode of the Captain Jack Podcast. The fact that the crew neglected to handle the situation and that’s how it spiraled out of control was among the most startling revelations he made.

“It didn’t affect our game, I just think guys were tired of it,” Cook stated. “[Kerr] claimed that year that he had never seen a squad under such intense scrutiny. It was something every day, without fail. I am aware that our squad was somewhat affected when KD and Draymond got into a fight while they were on the bench. I will say this: Golden State handled it poorly. We are the ones that deal with it on a daily basis, thus it was never addressed to us. We tried holding team meetings, but it just doesn’t work, koombayas. Even after going through everything, we were still one game away. I believe that because we are guys, let’s just work things out. Let’s discuss anything openly, if Let’s battle to clear the air; we need to fight. Let’s discuss and get things out of the way if we need to. It will never be resolved if we don’t deal with the issue. We simply never dealt with the matter, and that caused us pain.”

Keivn Durant staying with the Golden State Warriors increases the likelihood that the team will win numerous more titles. Even without Durant, Steph Curry was still able to win another championship in 2022, although his window would have been much wider had he stayed.
